Some speculation is rife as to the probable
selection of Speaker of the next House OF
Delegates of Maryland. Among those men
toned in connection with this high honor, are
Mr.. George NJ. Upshur, of Worcester; Hon.
George Cotton, of Baltimore, and DIR. X.
Covington Mackall, of Cecil.
For President of the Senate, the names OF
Hon. John B. Brown, of Queen Anne's, and
Hon. Richard H. Edelin,, of Charles, have
been canvassed. It gratifying to know that
the next Legislature will be composed of gen.
tlemen of such eminent qualifications fol-
these high places of trust and confidence.

P. I. Barnnm said in 1884, that he owned
fAy houses in Bridgeport, Conn, and that if
Mr.. Cleveland should be elected he would sell
them for one-half their value. He recently
sent message to the President, through Col.
Lamont, that he had gone up on the price Of
those houses so per cent This is brief but
telling commentary on the Administration of
President Cleveland. Mr.. Barnum did not
stand alone 10 entertaining such ridiculous
notions in 1884. It goes to his credit, how
ever, that he has discovered bis folly, and is
honest enough to confess it.

a. dsta;Ind , acconnt of the second term of your
stewardsbip which is now drawing to close.
Dnr;ng The two yesrs of that term the num-
her of nnnils in actual attendance at the public
schools eff the county has increased from
q. 327 to 1920, necessitating several new dis
| tricts and an addition of elevent to the number
of teachers.
The utter dilapidation of many old school
houses compelled the building of new ones in
their places. Much of the school furniture
was also worn out, and had to be replaced
with new. As far as possible these wants
have been supplied, and the large item OF
| interest in the statement suggests the heroic
measures which were required TO reach that
end.
During the term, fourteen new rooms ior
white schools and two for colored scnoois nave
been built, at a cost OF about $o,O wv: In tne
same time 81, 662. 46 were expended IN repair
ing old houses still worth repairing, ana 9z,
9Io. IL for furniture. during the TWO years
OF your first term the NUMBER q puPils IN
creased LOG and the number OF teachers =;
eight new rooms were built at cost OF about
81 900; the sum of $2,410.57 was expended
for repairs, and 1928. IS for furniture.
In the meantime our ceunty's portion OF
the State Free School Fund has shrunk from
81, 627 46 in 1884 to 50, 267 Al in 1886, and to
| 81 998. Sc in 1887; and our county's portion OF
the State School Tax in June, 1887 was
ST 200. 90 less than usual
These large but unavoidable draughts, and
the unaccountable shrinkage in the states pay
ments have left the school treasury in crippled
condition. II is useless to conceal the fact
that the resources are not sufficient for the
demands made upon them. The funds avail
able. at their best, do not suffice to keep the
schools open three terms at our present rate
of salaries-the lowest in the state-even if
there be no extraordinary expenditures for
new buildings or furniture. How, then, can
they be expected to bear the additional bur-
dens now laid upon them for these purposes?
Some twelve more new rooms are needed, of
which several cannot be delayed another year.
1t is believed that when these shall all have
been erected scarcely any necessity will arise
for new schoolhouses for many years to come.
By careful attention and iudicious repairs the
| furniture. when once renewed, can be kept in
order without great outlay at any one time,
| so that in wear or two the pinching nressure
occasioned by these unusual expenses will
have measurably passed away.
But how shall the school authorities meet

The following compliment to the DEMO
CRATIC ADVOCATE is from the Hagsrstown
Nerq, valued exchange and one of the
influential county journals in Western Mary
land:
''The Democratic AdUocdte of Westminster
began its tweuty-third volume on Saturday
last. 1t is sterling journal, edited with
marked ability, sound in its political princi..
Piles, beautiful in appearance, bright and
newsy. The AdUocdte is genuine newspa-
per. 1t is set up and printed in its own office,
the matter for it is all prepared there, and it
uses better paper and ink than any otherjournal
in the State. Il has never fallen in with the
cheap plan of using cuts, that are generally
burlesques of what they purport to represent,
nor of buying its matter already set up and
made into plates by the yard, nor does it issue
as extra sheets supplements edited and printed
in other cities 1t is printed at home, and its
receipts are spent at home, in paying en-
ployes engaged in its production. We are
alwayes glad to see such evidences of success
in any journal, and to know that the publish
ers have the welfare of their employees at
heart and desire to give all the employment
they can to their own people. Blanket sheets
made on the cheapest paper and sold for the
cost of good white paper, do not fill the bill
with substantial people clap trap never WINS.
